Fagan, Garnett named Bojangles Athletes of the Week

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Tusculum College basketball guard Cory Fagan and volleyball right-side hitter Rachel Garnett have been named the Bojangles Athletes of the Week.

Fagan, a senior from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, poured in 24 points, including six 3-pointers in Tusculum's 88-85 South Atlantic Conference win over Wingate. The victory snapped an 11-game losing streak to the Bulldogs and was TC's first win over WU since 2011.  Fagan shot 8-of-14 from the floor, including 6-of-10 from three-point land.  He also hauled in four rebounds and posted an assist.  Earlier in the week, he tallied five points and five assists in a 94-84 road loss at Belmont Abbey.  On the week, Fagan averaged 14.5 points and 3.0 rebounds per contest.

Garnett, a senior from Cincinnati, Ohio, recorded a dozen kills and a .435 hitting percentage as Tusculum dropped a 3-1 decision to top-seed Wingate in last Tuesday's SAC quarterfinal.  Garnett ends her collegiate career with 1,069 kills, which are the sixth-most in program history. Garnett also finishes ranked with her .241 career hitting percentage (8^th in TC history), 2,968 career attacks (8^th in TC history) and 443 career sets played (9^th in TC history). She also finishes her TC career with 1,159.5 points. 

The Tusculum College Athlete of the Week Award is sponsored by Bojangles, located at 3240 Andrew Johnson Highway in Greeneville.  The Bojangles Athlete of the Week Award honors one male and one female athlete each week from an in-season sport.
